First off, I've purchased a R9 290x re-badged AMD card before the holidays. It got to me after the new year, and never worked it was DOA. I paid 579 for it from newegg, plus shipping. It's now discontinued, so I had to RMA with MSI, paid shipping again. They've had the card for 31 days, then they tell me it's out of stock, and offer me a refund of 495. I've -never- been so insulted by a "market value" amount in my life! Consider the fact that they are now going for 699+ up to 999.
BUYER BEWARE
New Egg should have taken this back.
Did you ask MSI to send you the new card. (Next better)

MSI R9 280X GAMING vs MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is any hardware difference between the MSI R9 280X GAMING and MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition.
I already have an MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition and I want one more that is identical. However the retail price for the "none BF4" is cheaper.
Please advice.

Hi,
There is no difference in hardware. The BF4 version has a code to get a copy/download of BF4
Greetings, Anne

None of that is a bios version. We need a link to a copy of your vbios saved to file and uploaded to a file hoster to check if there is a newer version. If not allowed to link yet add a break to the link so it is masked being a link.

Others reported that too when using the same card. If unlocking won't work (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) contact MSi about it as there seems to be an issue: >>How to contact MSI.<<

UEFI is aGOP compliant vbios that allows to use secureboot/fastboot (Windows 8/8.1). If not using UEFI booting it doesn't matter which you use. Older mainboards with UEFI but not being GOP compliant on the other hand won't work with a GOP vbios and only the legacy vbios allows to use the card.

MSI Nvidia GTX 760 OC Edition broken

Hi guys, back in December I bought an MSI Nvidia GTX 760 OC Edition and it has worked flawlessly until a few days ago. The first sign of trouble (a few days ago) was that the computer was restarting and when it returned to desktop there was a messaged that read "nVidia display drivers have stopped working and have been recovered". Sometimes it would happen without restarting the computer which would result in the screen going blank for a second and then coming back on with the aforementioned message.
To resolve this I used the "Driver Sweeper" program to completely remove the drivers for the card and reinstall them, but the problem persisted. I did this several times with the latest driver and the older driver and the last time I did it when I was booting into windows the screen got covered with graphical artifacts in pink and yellow colours and would not even display the mouse cursor. So I switched to the integrated graphics (thank goodness my motherboard has onboard graphics or I would be screwed) and since then the system would not recognise the graphics card, even in the BIOS. This means that I cannot install drivers for the card because the Nvidia installer will not install drivers if it does not detect a graphics card present.
Now when I put the graphics card in the fan runs at max even if I unplug the PCI-e power connectors from it, yet the system refuses to recognise the card at all.
So here's a summary of what I have done:
cleaned drivers out completely
Reinstalled latest and older version of driver
Checked Bios
Reseated GPU
Tried the card in another PCI-e slot
Started the computer with the HDMI cable plugged into the graphics card, resulting in no monitor output
Attempted to install drivers from the DVD, same problem as with the drivers downloaded from the Nvidia website
Here are my system specs, everything is under a year old:
MSi Z87-G55 mobo
intel Core i5 4670k
Corsair Vengeance 8GB Ram (2x4)
XFX 650 watt core pro Bronze edition PSU
So yeah, pretty high spec and all new. I don't have another computer to try the GPU in, but with the driver related shenanigans it is fair to suspect that the GPU is at fault. I have removed the card and everything is running fine without it.
MSi don't offer any helpful information about their RMA procedure so it would appear my only hope is the person I bought it from. Although I will try to harass MSi about it to see if I can get it RMA'ed via them.

Right, as an update I was issued a replacement by MSI and it arrived today The broken card arrived to them on Wednesday and they dispatched a replacement that same day and it arrived today (Monday). So that is less than five days from the broken card arriving to them to the replacement arriving at my door, very impressed. So if anyone in the UK has a faulty MSi product that needs replacing I can vouch for their RMA service, it is first class In my experience at least, I can say that MSi are one of the good guys and will definitely be a manufacturer to consider when shopping for new hardware.

Are you mixing RAM?
Did the software ever worked before? Try to uninstall it (Programs&Features), remove any folders and registry files that Gaming App have made (you can also use CCleaner to clear registry errors). Then reboot and try to install+run Gaming App again. What was the version you have tried? From the CD included with the card or from MSI website? If possible, tell exact version.

MSI 975X PLATINUM POWER UP EDITION

today is january 23rd, 2010
i just bought the msi 975x platinum power up edition in new york, from a store that was going out of business, but i am having problems because this does not power on.
i am using brand new and tested functioning: thermaltake tr2 430w psu, intel core 2 duo 2.66GHz fsb 1066, and also tried a celeron d 2.66GHz fsb 533, 1x corsair 1gb stick 800 mhz, nvidia 7 series pci express vga card, connected to a test ctr monitor AOC 5en.
i connected the 24 pin atx main connector, the 8 pin connector that powers on the cpu and also the peripheral connector that powers the pci express, and all i got was the heatsink fan spinning, but nothing appears on my screen (all is black).
i hope somebody can help me, because now the store where i bought it has closed, and i dont know how to get a warranty from MSI since i dont understand their RMA policy.

Quote
if it is not sure that after updating bios the motherboard can use some more new cpu`s, then i think it would be a waste of time trying to do a bios upgrade.
I am not sure that I understood what you mean, but it is nothing unusual that an older board/chipset will not support the latest processor models. And this has nothing to do with the board manufacturer.
Quote
I only wanted to do that bios upgrade thinking it would be enough to avoid the karma of searching for those listed cpus
What is so hard about digging up a supported processor? I mean, all you have to do is to decide which model you want to get (an E6600 would be a great choice for this board) and then buy it. You will probably be able to get a great deal on a used one on E-Bay.
This is not a complicated situation.
Quote
this is my first msi mobo!!!
... and it has nothing to do with this being an MSI Mainboard. The only problem is that it is an old mainboard/Chipset and that the latest 45nm processors are too different regarding their specifications to be properly supported.
Quote
where can i get a copy of the driver cd utility of this mobo?
i would like to get a copy from the original cd
There was no driver cd included in the mainboard box which you can make a copy off?
You can find all drivers for download on the product site for this mainboard:

MSI R9 270X 2G-BF4 Artifacts and Jitters

Hi,
I get intermittent artifacts with my new MSI R9 270X 2G BF4 card and I was wondering if there is a fix for this. Previously I had an ASUS 6950HD and never experienced this issue.
After installing the video driver Catalyst 14.9 I get artifacts on desktop (2D) as well as in game (3D). To rectify the issue, I have to change the desktop resolution to a low resolution and then change it back to 1920x1200. After doing this, everything works fine. Sometimes restarting the PC also fixes the problem, although not very often. The artifacts happen on PC startup and is very intermittent. At times I don't see this problem for days.
Images: ***https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=444CF70E90AF7D31!532&authkey=!AJlfvvR7mjnSfRo&ithint=folder%2c
When installing the latest AMD driver Catalyst 14.12 the screen also jitters rapidly. Is there a fix to this or is it a faulty card?
According to MSI Live Update 6.0 the installed VGA BIOS version is TV303MH.102
Specs:
Windows 7 64bit
Gigabyte Z68X-UD5-B3
Intel i7 2600K

So far what i've been able to see on my gs60 ghost pro (2pe), ram is upgradable, you have to n2 slots where there is only 1 in 128 gb ssd (weird size not the new standard), the normal 2,5" drive is an easy upgradable.
Ask if there is something else you need to know.

MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Edition Turn Off LED's?

Hello all MSI users.
Strangely enough, I only heard about MSI Products since last night, and I knew straight up, I needed to get my hands on one of these outstanding products.
The only thing that is holding me back from getting this amazing MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Edition is the question of if there is posibility in the utilities or on the card itself to turning off the LED's completely?
(then of course turning them back on without damaging the GPU or the LED's.)
The reason why I ask is, I usually leave my PC on over night to do either some long Downloads, a Defrag or a Deep Virus Scan, and as my PC is technically next to my bed, I don't want to be kept up all night with it shining in my face and then having to chuck a T-Shirt over the top of my case.
Please inform me if there is any possibility of this to work without having to go to some 'Xtreme' to turn the LED's off.
Much Appreciated Guys.

not possible, when VGA is in IDLE there are less amounth of LEDs that's active.
you can place a piece of black tape over leds to "disable" them
